Little Mix to play extra Scottish date in Aberdeen

Girl group Little Mix has announced they will play an additional date in Scotland due to phenomenal demand for their Get Weird tour 2016.

The group will play Aberdeen’s AECC GE Oil and Gas Arena on Tuesday, April 12 and will make up for fans who missed out on tickets for their two sold out two gigs at The Hydro in Glasgow on Saturday, March 19.

Tickets are, however, still on sale for a third gig at The Hydro on Tuesday, April 5.

The group have added four additional dates, also in Liverpool, Leeds and Newcastle, and comes hot on the heels of Little Mix’s incredible X Factor performance during the first week of live finals which saw them perform ‘Black Magic’ and new single ‘Love Me Like You’.

Both tracks are taken from their new album ‘Get Weird’ which has so far received outstanding reviews across the board and looks to take the charts by storm.

The new tour sees Little Mix headlining 27 arena shows in UK and Ireland in 2016 and they will be joined by special guest Nathan Sykes.

Talking about their additional shows Little Mix said: “We’re so excited to add new dates to our Get Weird tour! We can’t wait to perform all the new tracks from the album as well as some old favourites.”

The girls, Perrie Edwards, Jesy Nelson, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirlwall became Little Mix in 2011. Since then they have sold over seven million records, had two UK No.1 singles and two platinum albums ‘DNA’ and ‘Salute’.

With over half a billion YouTube and Vevo views worldwide, they’ve also successfully become one of Britain’s greatest exports with massive tours in the US, Australia and Japan – breaking the Spice Girls’ long-held record of highest debut US chart position for a UK girl group in the process.

Tickets for the Aberdeen show go on sale on Friday, November 13 at 9am.
